Petracca was an option for those going him and beat him soundly.
Danger and Rowell smashed him but anyone who captained them probably was more lucky that good.
Neale and Miller both very strong options that beat him.
This week Cripps has already beaten him soundly and given that the Cripps/Rowell combination would almost certainly be the most common reason that people didn't start Macrae it's a very relevant one to beat him.
From your wording I get the opinion that you think leaking means significant points, for mine a leak is more a small thing than large, so probably shapes things a bit as well!
Either way, for me personally not starting Macrae has been a big win through 10 games!
Long season though and one of the major positives of Macrae is that you can have confidence that he's still producing in round 22! Albeit I'd be hoping he's been producing in my side for something like 16 of those rounds

Gawn makes me nervous. I'd say Macrae has gone better than planned! I'm up on the captaincy element both weeks, I'm way ahead on the points and I dodged a rookie grenade.
I'd love him to throw up a stinker though, that sure wouldn't hurt my trade plans of which he is right at the top

Not sure what the hell happened but it looks like SC cleared my forward emergency?
Durdin was emergency last week, did some swapping around to put him on field for Martin, and then took him back off to give me the option to put the C on Martin. At the end of this he had the E but I log in this morning and nothing.
Very much managing to pick the wrong Carlton rookie each week means it's only cost me 24 points so I'm not sure it's worth chasing up.

I've been gritting my teeth watching Macrae in two games and at this point it's pretty much a BE call. Given so many people are using Macrae as a VC option, for me as long as I find a C score each week that matches or beats Macrae, I've succeeded. On top of that, getting value for money with my other picks and being better able to get potential sh!t scores off the ground in the early rounds, it's a win. (Emergency loopholes are helping there too
although for the life of me I don't know why I didn't keep the E on McGov last night. Had it there at the start of the week)Back on Macrae - he appears to have a acquired a golden ticket which is somewhat annoying. Yes, he's improved his kicking over the years but there are still a lot of those awkward grubber kicks that miss targets. Last night's ratio was a little absurd and I feel CD were being a little generous with the "effective" rating at times.
Macrae will no doubt be in my team by seasons end. The true test will be whether I've managed to use the early rounds wisely without him. As Wogi says, it's a long season and the beauty of this game is there are a million ways to win it.
I can't remember ever starting a season with Macrae and found myself either never getting him or selling the farm to acquire him.
This season I decided to go against what I normally do as it clearly has never worked for me in previous seasons, long season but hopefully its a start for things to come for Muppets F.C
Also with 35 trades I just feel like I couldn't possible run out before the end
